These Pills are purely vegetable in their composition. Thoy contain neither calomel nor any other dangerous drag, and may be taken with perfect safety bypersons of all ages. I -wag a great sufferer from Dyspepsia and Constipation. I had no appetite, and was constantly afflicted with Head ache and Dizziness. I consulted our family doctor, who prescribed for me, at various times, without affording mora than temporary relief. I finally com menced taking Ayer's Pills. In a short time my digestion and appetite IMPROVED my bowels were regulated, and, by the time I finished two boxes of these Pills my tendency to headaches had disap- E eared, and I bocatno strong and well. arius JL Logan, Wilmington, DeL I was troubled, for over a year, with Loss of Appetite, and General Debility.

Htllsboeo, Or., April U. i........ ttm'mrinnq nnpstiona sent to me in regard to the coal find in Wash ington county, I desire to state that I am not an expert wnen u i " i tion of how much coal it takes to make a good paying coal mine, but will state just what I know to be facts: In the first place, it has been known for vears that coal existed in the mountains in Washington county, running from Green mountain to the head waters of Wilson river, a distance of say sixty-five miles, that many parties have from time to time searched for these ledges without success, owing to the fact that the sur face of the ground is covered with a thick growth of salal, pea vine and blackberry vines, brush, logs and all sorts of stuff; that these searches were made during good weather, when everything was green, and covered up the ground, and it .-. inncsihin to trace the course of croppings found in pieces and chunks lying loose proDaoiy u uan-umo nuu ." Last winter Mr. S. J. Raffety, brother nt Tra Tinvn and C. H. Raffety of East Pn-naTid nfl J. It. Bailev went out to Green mountain to prospect for coal, and after a careful examination they found some fifty croppings over a space of 7 miles, in what is known as Long mount ain which adjoins Green mountain, run ning west. The first find of any import ance was by Raffety and consists of a ledge sticking out ot tne ground nve leei. thick and 138 feet wide, so that one would have nothing to do but go to digging out the coal. The next find was made by Bailev, and consisted of a ledge that sticks ont of the Ground five or six feet thick and 500 feet wide, with croppings partly covered up with dirt of some i00 yards. So that all one would have to do at the start would be to set men to knock ing off 1000 or more tons before starting a tunnel, nnd by means of o chute 200 feet long it could be del lvereu into cars below The casing aronnd tho coal seems, so far as can bo ascertained, composed of a fine sandstone, rusty color, hard, and tough as Bhtzen, so that the separation of coal from the casing would form no expense. Two places, and still another nt the end of Lone mountain, owned by H. C. Raymond, of Gaston, are already open and ready to commence delivery of coal in me curs. If parties writing mean by "develop ing" the mine to get ready to deliver coal to cars, we are reauy now. wrara uu with vonr railroad. As to the extent of these mines, there is nothing definitely known other than cropping3 on both aides of Lone mountain all along for a distance of a mile apart and about seven and a half miles long and at the out crorjDines from three to six feet thick. At the end of Long mountain it passes through a deep canyon and into tue range beyond to re-appear again, so the writer has been informed by a witness, at tho big slide on the headwaters of a tributary of Wilson river, west of Forest Grove, and beyond the range, this time turned up edgewise, 400 feet perpendicu lar and 60 feet thick. As to the quality of the ceal: tho writer has tried the coal, and from n fire test it gives a good, clean, bright blaze, heats well, and burned up without clink or ash in my test. For further tests von are referred to Dr. Dav. Raffety of Eu-t Portland nnd to a samDle sent the wliule- of Thompson, Demrt IK NATIONAL CONVENTIONS. Congressmen Not The Best Material For Delegates.

These samples were knocked from the edge of the ledges, and may or may not be good indications of the coal further in. Whether the coal thickens as it eoes in the mountain, or is inst a stratum five or six feet thick, run A1MMl. lU nv4f wiAOT4mi nit mug luruugu me cuiuo uuujiwiu, thence out through the Coast Range (the outcroppings showing where the stratum has been Droken on oy ine snaaen Dreax ing and settling of the mountain) is only a matter of conjecture. One thing is certain, the coal is there, and from Jill indications there is plenty of it, and so far it is supposed to be of a good quality and tbe assertion is haz arded that the world never produced a coal mine so easily opened or so accessi ble for means of transportation. Mr. Bailey and Dr. Raffety say they can show two routes for a railroad that will require no engineering skill from the Tuala tin plains to the Nehalem river. One is nn the east fork of Dairv creek and the other the east fork of the west fork of Dairy creek, both touching Long mount ain. Mr. Bailey says that he has passed through the immense gorge or canyon nt the west end of Long mountain, and says it cuts clear throucb. and on almost a level, the mountains looming up on each side hundreds of feet; tlyit in looking for an outlet lor these coal mines no went as far as the Nehalem river and found no obstructions to amount to anything; that the grading for the mountain in cuts aud fills and bridges would not bo as heavy as the valley. Just as soon as Mr. Bailey and Dr. Raffety get their crops in, which will not be more than two weeks longer, work will be commenced in earnest in these mines to penetrate them deep enough to be fully satisfied aa to tho quality of the coal. R. Oxvn. Bordette's Philosophy. There are 1,400,000,000 people living on the planet which we in habit. And yet there is now and then a man who wonders what the rest of us will do when he dies. There are people in "society" who honestl' think that all the world closes its eyes when they lie down to sleep. There are men who fer to act according to their own con victions because, perhaps, ten persons in a crowd of 1, 400,000,- 000 will lauzh at th'em. "Why, if a man could only realize every moment what a bustling, busy, fussy, important little atom he is in all this great ant hill of impor tant, fussy little atoms, every day he would'regard himself less and think still less of the other mole cules in the corral. The national conventions are gatherings which congressmen, of both parties would like to attend, but it is a well observed fact that congressmen are the most unfit delegates to send to a convention. It is said in their behalf that their service in congress has given them the acquaintanceship with congress men from other states who may be members of tbe convention, and has informed them more or less accurately of the political con dition of the various congressional districts in the Union. A congress man puts this argument forward with a good deal of plausibility. He wants to go to the convention, not only for that sort of excite ment which all politicians enjoy at the nomination of a president, but also to strengthen himself politically with the new adminis iration which may tako hold of tho Government. This latter object, however, of making himself solid with tho nominoe unfits him to a great extent to make a choice which suits tho people whom he represents. For instanco Arthur had two-thirds of all tho Republic an senators in favor of him for the nomination for tho presidency in 1884. Senator Millerof California, who was then in the senate, desired to be a delegate to tbe Chicago convention to lead tho California delegation to the support of Arthur, while the feeling in that state was enthusiastically and unanimously for Blaine. Members of congress see a number of ways in which they can strengthen themselves by securing pledges in advance from the man to whom they offer their support, and thev, too,likely ignore the popular feeling at home for their own advantage. A congress man or a senator for this reason is the most unsafe delegate to send to a national convention to repre sent accurately the feeling ot the people in this district. The nation al convention of either party should be composed of men who come directly from the people, and who have not been in a position to trade and logroll with the possible nominee Under such condition a nominee will be selected who is more nearly the choice of all the people, and who in consequence will excite more enthusiasm and secure greater support than a nominee who might gain his place on tho ticket by bartering away the oflices to the politicians for tho nomination. Al Lycon man who has just re turned from an extended tour of the country recently struck a small town in Missouri where the sha ties composing the metropolis were surrounded by numerous acres of land staked off into lots. Before one of the magnificent trade em poriums bat an old man smoking a corn-cob pipe and apparently plunged in meditation. The Lin coln man assumed an air of pro found innocence and accosted him, when this dialogue ensued: "What are these stakes here for?" "Town lots, stranger. This hyar town is just a goin' to have a boom. An opery house will be built thar, ef nothin' happens." "Who owns this property ?", "A syndicate. Ye won't see ary flies on this town." "What is a syndicate?" "Why, vo see, a syndicate is er lot of fellers in lher city what has . money, and they sorter gei togetu er and buy up a farm, and they stake it off, yo see, and start a boom. That thar land was ther Widder Maguire farm, but there syndicate bought it and staked it off." "And how does thesyndicate do its booming?" "Wal, one feller in ther syndi out cets control of it all, ye see, CASH. ONE PRICE. SPECIAL APRIL IOTH, 1888.
